Sally Kohn: My absolute favorite part is when you ask your guests at the end, what recommendations do they have for young people? She says know that you are not alone. There's so many expectations on young people today. So seek out a mentor. Your deepest call, and by that I would say try to keep a journal, try to be quiet,. Maybe talk to a coach or a friend, but don't feel buffeted by school and classes and majors and careers.
